Report Type

Report Types

Below are several report type categories that are distinguished based on the information or criteria defined in each respective report.

Annual Report

These large reports are produced every year, presenting information from a single data source (e.g., NSDUH, TEDS). Note: This category does not include reports that are better described by another category (e.g., Barometers, State Reports, Data Reviews).

Barometer Report

Barometers are a series of national, regional, and state reports that provide a snapshot of U.S. behavioral health.

Data Table Report

These documents focus on presenting tables of data points (e.g., population percentages, prevalence estimates) and are often released on an annual basis.

Metro Report

These reports present data on a single metro area (e.g., Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH), and they may be released as a stand-alone publication or a recurring report.

Methodology Report

These reports explain the development of or changes to a study’s methods, collection, or analysis (e.g., weighting, sampling, inference).

State Report

These reports present data on a single state or territory, and they may be released as a stand-alone publication or a recurring report.

Substate Report

These reports present data on a single region (i.e., not a state or metro area), and they may be released as a stand-alone publication or a recurring report.
